They farm, learn spear throwing, take part in ceremonies and dances, and listen to stories while gaining an understanding of the rainforest and its animals. In the capital city to see the king and the Golden Stool and take part in an important festival, the boys encounter the wider kingdom: fine crafts, livestock, foreign people and books, and witness the sale of prisoners as slaves. Kwaku cares for a leopard cub that the king wants returned to the forest. Traveling to the coast, Kwame and Baako are kidnapped and threatened with sale as slaves. The Asante Kingdom faces rebellion and the decline of its role in the Atlantic slave trade. Change will come. Kwame, Kwaku, and Baako balance the life they know with new possibilities for their future.</p><p><br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>An excellent depiction of a famous African society adjusting to major pressures...Engrossing, well-paced, gripping adventures of three boys...Readers will appreciate pleasing illustrations, useful maps, and an exceptionally helpful glossary... </p><p>-Claude E.
